International Programs

Welcome to Colorado State University-Pueblo’s Center for International Programs!

CSU-Pueblo now has the ability to offer J-1 visas to international students and scholars from across the globe. With Department of Homeland Security approval, this visa program complements our existing F-student administration by providing more opportunities for accepting/enrolling international students and by fostering faculty exchanges to a greater extent.

The Center for International Programs (CIP) provides an array of services to prospective, new, and continuing international students at CSU-Pueblo. CIP was established to support and promote international education at the University, and to help create a community that is responsive to the increasing needs and obligations of our international students and faculty.We invite our students, faculty and the community to learn more about CSU-Pueblo’s international population and contact us with any questions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Pueblo is in a semi arid region, therefore, it is hot in the summer and cold (with snowfall) in the winter. Temperatures vary during the spring and autumn seasons. Suitable clothing can be purchased upon arrival, but items such as a winter coat (if arriving in January) should be brought from home if possible. The CIP homepage has a link to weather information (http://www.weather.com/weather/today/l/USCO0323:1:US).

First of all, unmarried freshmen under the age of 21 must live in the Belmont Residence Hall for the first year of study. Although in general comparison it would seem that living off-campus is less expensive than the dormitory, once again, when a student considers the cost of food, transportation, etc., living on-campus has its advantages. Upperclassmen and graduate students may also choose to live on-campus in the Walking Stick Village Apartment complex. More information on housing can be obtained at: www.csupueblo.edu/InternationalPrograms/housing/.

Colorado has an abundance of snow skiing resorts (over 20), some within shorter distances of the campus. Visit http://www.coloradoski.com/ for more specific information on various resorts. Also, the Experiential Learning Center, of the CSU-Pueblo campus, offers student trips throughout the ski season at greatly reduced cost. Check out http://www.csupueblo.edu/SR/OutdoorPursuits/ for more information on pending and past trips.
